   My recommendation is to be friendly with the greengrocery employee/owner so they recommend the best mangos. (I'm not sure there are so many varieties here, but picking one that is ripe to eat today is not so easy.)

      Fair enough. From where you stand this is absolutely correct.

      Where I'm from, there's so many mangoes to choose from. And yes, everyone starts with the vendor's recommendation. But at some point you really start to wonder what else is out there.

      So that's how I ended up here.

      Let me ask Mr Walmart to see what he thinks

         "Mr Walmart" hehehe. That's nice.

         For a moment I really did personify that giant soul-less corporation. Good wordplay. :)

         Within a distance of less than 1/3 mile, we have like 3 big faceless supermarkets and like 5 (perhaps more) small greengroceries. We make a big monthly purchase at a big supermarket ("Coto") using the online page, but we don't include the fruit and fresh vegetables there (only some frozen ones). We buy the fruits and most vegetables in one of the greengroceries. This one usually has better quality and give good advice.

            Yeah we actually only buy produce from the farmer's market and we have certain vendors we like more than others. I was just kidding about walmart
